This show was a smash hit as soon as the first season came out, and in this second season, we dive deeper into the complications of religion and relationships.

NOBODY WANTS THIS (SEASON 2)
What’s it rated? TV-MA
When? 2025
Where’s it showing? Netflix

Noah (Adam Brody) is in line to be head rabbi of his temple, something that has been his dream for many years. He’s also got Joanne (Kristin Bell), who doesn’t share his faith but the two are madly in love. Things get even more complicated in the second season as the two try to navigate the next steps in a relationship that may be doomed to fail. You can say you are OK with not knowing what will be, but it becomes clear to both Noah and Joanne that ignoring their differences is only getting more unrealistic, and with Joanne reluctant to even consider conversion, Noah is left to ponder if by choosing her, is he losing everything else he cares about. 

The series has already been renewed for season 3, and I’ll be watching! These two are charming as hell together, as is Jackie Toan as Noah’s sister-in-law, Esther, and Timothy Simons as his somewhat bumbling big brother. (10 approximately 30-min. episodes) ∆
